| 227281 | 2004-04-06 10:55:00 | I get faxes daily from some medical company with details of clients drugs. along with a whopping disclaimer about privacy,part of which states that I'm not allowed to read it if I'm not the intended receiver. Now,I could care less about their wishes,I won't distribute the info because I'm not that sort of person(and their is no money in it)but I don't agree with their tone when they are the ones sending the stuff out to the wrong number.They need to sort their end out,not just send it out into the wilderness with a big heavy handed puff of crap attached to it. The other thing that aggravates me is that it states that anyone who receives it wrongly "has" to contact them,Again,I could not care less what some crap arse company whom is making mistakes thinks they have the right to instruct me to do,but its wasting my ink so I want to stop it,......but their is no return fax number,instead it says Fax sent by pc..... I intend to send them a bill for ink used,wear and tear on my fax machine,the cost of the phone calls in tracking them down,and for my time. Then I may even send them a nasty letter,stating at the end its confidential,that they were never meant to receive it,and they do not have the right to show it to anyone. |

| 227282 | 2004-04-06 13:38:00 | The whole concept is pretty poor, if you're sending things that sensitive and you mess up the address then you should bear the consequences of whoever received it. The ones demanding a phone call to a toll number to report it are pretty outlandish really. I mean when I get my credit card posted out by the bank, theres nothing that I can remember seeing printed outside or inside the envelope that says 'Oh yeah, if this credit card isn't for you, be a sport and cut it up, then take some more time and give us a ring, that'd be great' It's almost as annoying, but not quite so, as the idiot 'Admins' who leave their mail server virus scanners set to bounce to all and sundry that they sent a virus to x company when 9 out 0f 10 viruses fake their sender addresses. |

I think postcards are a better analogy to email because they don't even have the protection of an envelope. |

| 227284 | 2004-04-07 05:11:00 | metla: I believe it's a legal requirement for every fax to have the fax number and name of the sender included. Anyway, I suspect that such a CYA note wouldn't be a very good defence if someone whose confidential details were "accidentally" sent to people not entitled by carelessness took the trouble to sue the company. |
